Furious 7 (titled onscreen as Fast & Furious 7) is a 2015 American
action film directed by James Wan and written by Chris Morgan. A
sequel to 2013's Fast & Furious 6, it is the seventh installment in
the Fast & Furious franchise and stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne
Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges,
Jordana Brewster, Djimon Hounsou, Kurt Russell, and Jason Statham.
Furious 7 follows Dominic Toretto (Diesel), Brian O'Conner (Walker),
and the rest of their team, who have returned to the United States to
live normal lives after securing amnesty for their past crimes in Fast
& Furious 6, until Deckard Shaw (Statham), a rogue special forces
assassin seeking to avenge his comatose younger brother Owen Shaw,
puts the team in danger once again.With the previous three
installments set between 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) and The Fast and the
Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006), Furious 7 is the first installment in the
franchise to take place after Tokyo Drift. The film also marks the
final film appearance of Paul Walker, who died in a single-vehicle
crash on November 30, 2013, with filming only half-completed.
Following Walker's death, filming was delayed for script rewrites and
his brothers, Caleb and Cody, were used as stand-ins to complete his
remaining scenes. These script rewrites completed the story arc for
Walker's character, which was subsequently retired.Plans for a seventh
installment were first announced in February 2012 when Johnson stated
that production on the film would begin after the completion of Fast &
Furious 6. In April 2013, Wan, predominantly known for horror films
(including the Saw and Insidious franchises), was announced to direct
the film in place of Justin Lin, who left the franchise after
directing the previous four installments. Casting began in the same
month with the returns of Diesel and Walker and an initial release
date was set. Principal photography began in Atlanta, Georgia, in
September 2013, resumed in April 2014 and ended in July 2014, with
other filming locations including Los Angeles, Colorado, Abu Dhabi,
and Tokyo.
